STRIKER: Bollywood Movie Review

Bollywood movie ‘Striker’ has hit theatres this Friday. The movie starring Siddharth, Aditya Pancholi, Anupam Kher, Seema Biswas, Ankur Vikal and Nicolette Bird tells story of an innocent man being driven to the track of making big money. The main character in the movie, Surya is played by Siddharth has received good appreciation for his natural acting skills and his ability to carry a Bollywood movie by himself. The story deals with circumstances that made Surya who was an excellent carrom player give up his talent and go behind making money for a better life. The movie shows both the past and the present life of the hero, which makes the whole story pretty clear for viewers.

Surya gets in the middle of a communal riot in Mumbai after his out of the town trip. Anupam Kher plays the role of Faroukh, a police official who stops Surya. Later in the movie, he loses all his money that he had collected to go to Dubai, and he ends up playing carom again, not for passion but as a source of money. The movie shows how he gambles by playing carrom for money and ultimately stands face to face with one of the mighty gangsters Jaleel played by Adithya Pancholi whom Surya hated the most from his childhood.

Noorie (Nicolette Bird) plays the love interest of Surya in this movie. Zaid (Ankur) is a friend of Suryas who comes forth with a commendable performance. The producer cum director Chandan Arora did his best to make the audience feel good throughout apart from some portions were the movie confuses the audience. All in all, a good movie lacking in solid script.
